So are there any more saber colors in Fallen Order? I was really hoping for yellow, but there's only blue, green and orange so far.

I did some research and there is indeed a yellow saber crystal in the game. According to a article you have to solve a puzzle on Ilum to get the yellow crystal as well as the other crystals.

I know which is why i thought it was cool that they got her.


But couldn't get Ashley back to play Ahsoka. Bizarre.


Eh Bo-Katan was actually designed to look like Katee Sackhoff. There's pictures of Ashley doing a high quality cosplay of Ahsoka, and she very much does not look like the character. Rosario Dawson has a much more similar facial structure of Adult Ahsoka that she's much more believably the character.

Seeing as she was last seen in Rebels haring off with Ahsoka in order to find Ezra, who was last seen with Thrawn... I’m thinking it’s possible if not now specifically part of the plot.

Yeah, I got there. Yellow poncho, yellow BD-1, yellow Mantis, yellow saber. I'm decked out in my favorite color everywhere now. And might I add that kyber crystal temple is like, a terribly unsafe place to be bringing kids? No wonder one of them got lost down there.

They were still celebrating the death of the emperor, so I’m thinking it wasn’t long.

Is it weird that I fanboyed more about the live-action incarnation of the Imperial Gozanti-class cruiser in the new Mando episode than an actual honest-to-god live-action Bo-Katan Kryze?

Knights of Zakuul are TOR's Stormtroopers.

The trailer shows them slaughtering Pubs, Imps, Jedi, and Sith. Satele goes on about how the Jedi couldn't stand up to them because they're so tough. Lana goes on about how dangerous they are after breaking you out of carbonite. Senya boasts of how nobody ever escapes their justice.

...And yet these fucking goofballs who are supposed to be protecting a powermongering, genocidal, world-devouring living god like Valkorion end up getting trounced by fucking Skytroopers of all things. Honestly embarrassing. I mean I cut down so many Knights going through the Fallen Empire and Eternal Throne stories that these guys just seem like fucking pushovers. I know, I know: I, as the player, am an OP badass who can slaughter whole armies because vidya logic, but still. Maybe if they'd been fewer in number and reduced solely to miniboss and boss opponents instead of being spammed everywhere I might consider them worthy opponents but nah, fucking Hell, these guys are so lame. They look cool, have cool lines, and their whole order is interesting but they're Original Trilogy Stormtroopers (or Boba Fett if you prefer, Captain Phasma if you want to go further) all the same. Complete jokers and kinda disappointing.

Horizon Guard had cooler armor, anyway.

So Bo-Katan is still a badass in her middle age. Unlike Luke, Leia, and even Old Ben, who looked ancient and fragile in their canonical 50's. I can't believe I didn't think sooner that Mando is part of some Deathwatch offshoot. The helmet thing makes so much more sense now.

I'm excited to see what Ahsoka will bring to the show and what she'll do with The Child. She could definitely be that role model we've been saying he needs. I'm interested to see what Mando will do once he actually gets the kid to a Jedi. I'm probably getting three episodes ahead of myself here, but still.

Overall definitely my favorite episode of the season so far. It felt more like Star Wars than anything else I've seen from Disney, save for TCW S7. I'm hopeful for the Ahsoka arc and the rest of the season.

If we get more live-action versions of animated ships then The Mando will actually become my favorite show for this whole year; I can't get enough of all the neat little greebly details

Thing is, even if Mando gets the kid to her, then what? The order is still dead and gone. And this kid is a Yoda, so it's not like she can raise him until he's old enough. Pretty sure...whatever alien she is doesn't live that long.

So it's already well-known how lazy and unoriginal the Sequels were, but I never realized until now how lazy they were on introducing new aliens.

I mean look at this shit.

Prequels on top, Originals in the middle, and Sequels on the bottom. Look at those things. Most of them look like they could pass for just two different species. Most of them have the same range of skin tones. Most of them have small, slit eyes.

Not saying that the sequels are a font of creativity when it comes to alien design, but I in no way trust that pic to not be cherry picked.

Tbf, I found that hilarious.
They're both subtitled, and listed in the casting as "Frog Woman" and "Frog Man" making "frog noises".

Im near certain like four of those aliens are the exact same species, just different people. So yeah seems cherry picked partially. Others are just lazy designs

I mean there are also things like.... this abomination of the night that will forever haunt my dreams that arnt on there
